Chapter 160 Involved

"Your Majesty, Tan Shidu, who went to Sichuan Province to supervise the Qiu Wei examination, was recommended by Prince Ding." Chen Hui told Prince Ding that he did not know the person and asked him to investigate the case, fearing that a confusing case would be found.

"Tan Shidu did not supervise him well, but he did not accept bribes, and the case had little to do with him." King Ding defended Tan Shidu.

Chen Hui did not argue with King Ding, but said to the emperor: "I think that if I don't bother the two masters, it is better to leave it to the Minister of Justice Zuo of the Ministry of Punishment and the Censor Zuo of the Imperial Procuratorate."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "It's accurate."

Having just returned from Sichuan Province and not having time to rest, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice and others went out to pick up their errands.

After leaving the morning court, the emperor summoned Prince Ding.

When King Ding explained the reason, although the emperor felt that his idea was good, it was unlikely that he wanted to bring Prince De's Palace and Prince Jin's Palace into trouble based on the small amount of gifts Jiao Langzhong had received.

"Keep an eye on them and don't let them turn a big problem into a trivial matter." The emperor warned.

"The ministers will keep a close eye on them and will definitely let them act impartially, and will not allow anyone to act for personal gain out of fear of the power of certain people." Prince Ding said solemnly.

"It's okay, you can leave the palace." The emperor was about to drink medicine and sent people away in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that Chen Hui has secretly taken refuge with the King of Jin." King Ding has not left, and his eye medicine has not been applied yet.

"Chen Hui is a direct minister. He will not form a party with the King of Jin for personal gain." The emperor did not believe that Chen Hui would abandon him, a wise monarch, to help the weak prince.

"Your Majesty, look at what Chen Hui has read and said these days. Even if he has not colluded with the King of Jin yet, he will fall to the King of Jin sooner or later." King Ding speculated maliciously.

King Ding was very angry because Tan Shidu was not doing his job well.

But Tan Shidu was his. He could beat him, scold him, and even think of ways to get rid of him, but he could never be used as a basis for others to attack him.

The emperor's face was as heavy as water, "Check, if it is found out, I will ask him about the death penalty."

"Yes, Your Majesty." A sinister smile of successful conspiracy flashed across Prince Ding's lips.

The impact of affairs in the court on the back house is sometimes immediate.

In particular, it was true that Jiao Langzhong accepted heavy gifts, and he was arrested and sent to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice.

Mrs. Jiao was a housewife who regarded her husband as her first priority. She didn't have much knowledge, so she immediately panicked.

Weeping and holding her younger son, she went to Changyu Bo's Mansion to find her eldest daughter.

Mrs. Changyu Bo Crown Prince, with a pregnant belly of more than seven months, was teaching her eldest son how to read when her own mother came to the door crying, which shocked her.

"Mom, what happened?" Jiao asked as she gave up her seat.

Mrs. Jiao was so eager to save her husband that she lost her sense of proportion and said, "Your father was taken away by the police. They said he was involved in a major case and would be beheaded."

"How is that possible?" Mr. Jiao was shocked.

"It's true. Your father has been taken to the Criminal Department now. Daughter, please save your father quickly. If something happens to your father, I won't be able to live either." Mrs. Jiao cried.

"Mother, please don't cry yet. I will send someone to invite the crown prince to come over." Mrs. Jiao motioned to her maid to invite someone.

Prince Changyu came over not long after. He was wearing a long brown suit of coarse cloth with mud spots on his elbows.

He doesn't look like a young man from an aristocratic family, but rather like a farmer.

The top ten uncles in the capital all had no title but no real power. Uncle Changyu and his son were even more obsessed with farming and did not even hold idle posts in the court.

If it had not been a coincidence that his daughter was married into Prince De's palace and became the crown prince's concubine, Changyu Bo's palace would have been even more marginalized in the court.

"My son-in-law has met my mother-in-law. She is well." Prince Changyu saluted.

Mrs. Jiao wiped her tears and said, "Son-in-law, you must save your father-in-law."

Prince Changyu asked about the reason, and Mrs. Jiao also made it very clear.

"Mom-in-law, don't worry. I'm going to find out what happened. Why was my father-in-law involved?" Prince Changyu entered the house and changed his clothes before going out to inquire.

Mrs. Jiao couldn't sit still. She kept imagining all kinds of bad situations, which made Mrs. Jiao, who was already frightened by her, even more frightened. She felt that her lower abdomen kept falling.

"Mom, please stop talking, you are scaring my eldest sister." Brother Jiao saw that something was wrong with his sister and tried to dissuade her.

"I didn't say anything?" Mrs. Jiao saw that her daughter's expression was indeed not very good.

Brother Jiao was speechless for a while. Before he could say anything, he mentioned that his father was going to be executed by Lingchi, and that his wife, children, and children were all going to be exiled and sent to the army.

It's just that his dissuasion was a little late. Jiao held her belly and said, "It hurts so much. I'm going to give birth."

She was only more than seven months pregnant, and the delivery room was not even prepared. This sudden attack caused everyone in the room to panic.

Fortunately, this was not her first time giving birth. After a short period of panic, everyone calmed down, arranged the delivery room, arranged the delivery room, and invited people.

When Mrs. Chang Yubo learned that her daughter-in-law was going to give birth prematurely, she was speechless for a while. She looked down upon Mrs. Jiao, her own wife.

It is of no use being a mistress and panicking when something happens.

After leaving the palace, Crown Prince Changyu did not know that his wife was helping him give birth to a second child.

He knew only a limited number of people, and the only person who could inquire about the matter was his sister-in-law, Prince Deok.

When they arrived at Prince Deok's Mansion, Crown Princess Deok and Crown Prince Deok met him together.

After learning the whole story from Crown Prince Changyubaek, Crown Princess Deok said angrily: "The greed is too much. He will make money from everything. This kind of person deserves to die. No matter what he saves, he will not save him."

Crown Prince Changyuba was a little afraid of his sister and did not dare to speak. He looked at Crown Prince Deok longingly.

Prince De smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry, I will discuss this matter with my uncle. You can go to the mother-in-law's place. The mother-in-law is looking for you."

"The mother and concubine are looking for me." Prince De's concubine gave him a look, "Don't take over everything, you can't take care of this matter."

"I know, I know, don't worry, go and do your work." Crown Prince De coaxed and deceived, half-hugging and half-pushing him out.

A large part of Prince Ding's ideas can be realized. Prince De's Mansion has already been involved because of their marriage relationship.

As for the King of Jin, it is true that it is not involved, but coincidentally, this matter has affected the old servant of the Princess of Jin, Jiang Changning.

Among the heavy gifts that Mr. Jiao received was a large shop. He did not want to do business, so he sold the shop.

The person who bought the shop was Mr. Wu, who was in charge of the catering business, so he was also arrested and sent to the Criminal Department.

When his deputy Zhao Cheng saw this situation, he quickly went to find Jiang Nan.

But Jiang Nan is on a long trip and is not in the capital.

This matter had to alarm Jiang Changning. Hearing that Boss Wu was arrested, Jiang Changning was also shocked, "Can you find out why he was arrested?"

"Involved in the fraud case in Qiuwei, Sichuan Province." Zhao Cheng inquired about the matter clearly and came to see his master.

"How is that possible?" Jiang Changning found it unbelievable. Boss Wu was an old servant of the Jiang family. He had been in Beijing since he came to Beijing with her seven years ago and had never been to Sichuan Province.

The most important thing is that although Mr. Wu’s children have been expelled from the country, his son and son-in-law are not good at studying, and they are now doing business with him.

Even if Boss Wu wanted to do something in Qiuwei, the briber should be an academic official from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. How could he be involved in the fraud case in Qiuwei in Sichuan Province?
